Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semisweet chocolate
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust them lightly with cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Add the powdered sugar to the egg mixture and whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
Sift the flour over the mixture, then fold gently until no lumps remain.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
Once baked, let the ramekins cool for 1 minute, then gently run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes.
Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and let the molten cakes slide out. Serve immediately.
